Zuriel is the only agent I worked with that showed me exactly what I was looking for, and ONLY what I was looking for. He is honest and straightforward. Each place we saw met my criteria for price range and amenities, there were no surprises at all, and no disappointments. He stayed with me every step of the way, through the lease signing, to make sure everything was in order and to my liking. If I find myself with the need, I will definitely be calling on Zuriel again.

I cannot say this enough: there's no one better to have by your side than Zuriel!

Not only is he incredibly knowledgable and well connected in the area -- he's also a deeply caring and friendly person. He was especially accommodating considering my particular situation -- I was unfamiliar with the New York area and was looking to move to a 1 bedroom apartment in a very quick timeframe. Initially, I was daunted by the all of the options. As soon as I reached out to Zuriel, he immediately replied back and was eager to help me find the perfect apartment.

After setting up a weekend to come view apartments, Zuriel was incredibly attentive and organized a detailed schedule of showings. There were tons of great options and, more importantly, Zuriel had the right connections and depth of knowledge to inform us of the particulars of each unit. He was by our side during every step of the process.

You should also know this about Zuriel - he goes the extra mile. Whether it's helping with finding movers or bringing a tape measure or an umbrella for a showing on a rainy day, he's got you covered. Those quiet little details speak loudly to his character.

In the end, we ended up finding a gorgeous unit that perfectly suited our needs. And, better still, we ended up finding a wonderful agent and all around stand-up guy in the process.

Whatever you do, book with Zuriel!!

Zuriel was very friendly and helpful and after meeting with us for a brief viewing at one apt building he quickly brought us to one that he thought we would like. He took the time to get to know us and once he understood what we were looking for showed us one that we instantly knew met all our needs. Can't wait to move in.

Zuriel was a pleasure to work with. We moved cross-county and he was there every step of the way to answer questions, give us apartment options, and ultimately help us find the perfect place. I could not have asked for a better person to work with. His help and guidance were invaluable.

I am so, so happy that my boyfriend and I reached out to Zuriel. I contacted four different agents on the same day (about four different listings.) They all got back to me right away; however, Zuriel was the only one that didn't copy and paste a reply. A couple of them made me feel like I was being hustled. But Zuriel seemed genuinely interested in finding us our idea of the perfect apartment from the get-go. He was patient and thorough, even though we had many difficult parameters and expectations (only being able to look at potential places a couple hours a week, needing space for large furniture items, etc.) Communication with him was easy and swift, from start to finish. He always took the time to answer our(many) questions, ease our concerns, and respond to emails. And man, does he know Brooklyn!

We are thrilled with the apartment we just signed on, as Zuriel correctly predicted we would be on our way over to check it out. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Zuriel!

Seriously, Zuriel Haskins is the BEST broker we've worked in New York! He's actually the best service we've had in NYC in 5 years!

Zuriel is the nicest, most helpful, patient and accomodating broker you'll find. Not pushy at all, he will show you as many or as few apartments as you need and is willing to always go that extra mile to find you the best apartment. He spent a good 6 weeks with us looking all over different areas of NYC and Brooklyn to see where we liked, always showing us places that fit out criteria - yes, he actually listens to what you want - and importantly, he always made the appointments efficient by showing us many places at a time, which we appreciated.

We have just signed our new lease and couldnt be happier, we've found a broker we'll use in the future for rentals and sales.

Highly recommend Zuriel!!

Zuriel is hands down the best broker I’ve worked with in New York; extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient. He took the time to really understand what my needs were and what I was looking for. He showed me a lot of options in different neighborhoods which really helped me narrow down my search to a specific neighborhood and type of apartment. He would say to me, “I don’t want you to force yourself to like something” and he really made sure I didn’t give up until I found “the one”. He was also great during the negotiation and approval process and made sure everything worked smoothly until I signed my lease. I would recommend him to anyone looking for their new home in NY.

Zuriel has been very nice and helpful, he has a very good knowledge of the area in which we were looking for an apartment and took time not only to show us apartments but also to give us information on the neighborhood. Although we did not rent through him at the end since we decided to apply for an apartment we had seen before meeting him, we appreciated a lot his kindness and efforts to help us in our search.

I was looking for an apartment in a bit of a rush, but was not willing to settle. I had a very specific list of things the place had to have, a certain amount I was looking to spend, and a seemingly unreasonable deadline I had to find this place in. I was, hate to say it, the client every broker must dread. Zuriel was outstanding in ways I have not come across in any broker I have ever used. He was courteous, personable, extremely knowledgeable, and honestly eager to help me find "the place". He was in contact with me multiple times a day, and did not give up until we finally found it. Not once did he ever show hesitation or frustration. We all know how trying apartment searches can be, and I never once doubted finding a place, or even finding it in time from the minute I started working with Zuriel. I am certain that after my outlandish demands, he could find the perfect pad for anyone looking! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking...if anyone can find it, it will be Zuriel!

Zuriel was very quick to respond to my original email.

I spent the day looking at apartments with him and I couldn't have been happier. He understood what I was looking for, and was extremely patient with me. He had a positive upbeat personality that made the whole experience really exceptional.

While I didn't end up renting any of the apartments I saw with Zuriel, it in no way reflects negatively on him.

Highly recommended.

Zuriel was a pleasure to work with and I strongly recommend him to anyone looking, particularly in Brooklyn. Zuriel has strong ties to the area and is a wealth of information on everything from the architecture to restaurants and shops. Although we ended up renting in a different area, Zuriel presented us with some excellent options and I would certainly work with him again.

Zuriel quickly gained our trust and found my girlfriend and me a beautiful 1 bedroom in fort greene. Moving from Chicago to Brooklyn, we knew the type of apt that we wanted, but needed an education in Brooklyn neighborhoods, and Zuriel patiently showed us around and quickly found us the perfect apt in the perfect location for us.

I would like to say Zuriel was very helpful and diligent with my fiancée and I finding an apt. I wouldn't say we were an easy for Zuriel to work with, but he continually found places over and over for us to see. He finally found the ideal place in Brooklyn that met all of our many wants and needs. I would recommend Zuriel to anyone who ask, as his patience and determination was appreciated.

Even though I ended up renting through another broker, Zuriel was definitely the most helpful agent I worked with during my apartment hunt. He was proactive and really got to know what I was looking for so that we didn't end up viewing spaces that didn't meet my predefined set of expectations. His ability to show relevant apartments coupled with a kind and personal business approach made him easy to work with unlike many of the other brokers I saw, who wouldn't budge on fee and were more interested in a quick/easy sale than a satisfied client. I would definitely recommend Zuriel for those looking for a trustworthy broker, trust me they are hard to find.
